ZD230TA 4-Inch Desktop Printer
Remarkable value, quality printing, simple operation
When your budget requires a basic printer, that usually means compromising on quality, functionality and performance — value printers typically use less expensive components and offer fewer features. The result is a printer with a shorter lifecycle that falls short of your performance expectations, requiring repairs and replacement more frequently, ultimately costing you more instead of less. Meet the value printer that’s different — the Zebra ZD230TA. With this 4-inch thermal printer, there’s no compromise. You get a printer that delivers the same quality that has made Zebra an industry leader. This printer is built to last for years. It’s easy to install and operate. You can count on highly legible print quality for every single label — regardless of whether you choose 203 dpi or the new 300 dpi option. This USB printer is up and running in an instant. Just plug it into any USB port and plug in the power cord and you’re ready to print. And regardless of how many shifts you operate, you can count on reliable performance, every minute of every shift.
Designed for Simplicity
Start Printing in Minutes
This USB label printer is simple to install — you can start printing nearly instantly, right out of the box. And since this printer supports ZPL, EPL and non-Zebra command languages, you can easily replace the printer you’re using today.
Media is Easy to Manage
The transparent media window lets workers instantly see how much media is left and when to change the roll to prevent workflow disruptions. The OpenACCESS™ clamshell design makes it easy to access and replace media.
And if you print a high volume of labels, a 300 m ribbon roll means fewer changes and improved worker productivity.
Easy Everyday Operation
The ZD230TA is so intuitive that practically no training is required. With a single button for feed and pause, this printer couldn’t be easier to operate. A single green/yellow/red LED makes it easy to see printer status at a glance. And whether you need to open the printer, feed labels or change the ribbon, color-coded touch points make it simple.
Automatically Resumes Operation After a Power Outage
With this new time-saving feature, there’s no need to physically turn on your printers after a power interruption — ideal for printers that may be difficult to reach or locked in a cabinet for security. And the power switch is located near the back of the printer to prevent workers from accidentally turning the printer off.
The Right Options
Fast Printing with Your Choice of Resolution
With a print speed of 6 inches per second, this 4-inch barcode printer keeps pace with your business and your workflows — your workers won’t be waiting for labels to print. And with a choice of 203 dpi or 300 dpi, you get a very versatile printer that provides the resolution you need on the types of items you print — from prescription, specimen, IV bag and food information labels to patient ID wristbands and packing slips, asset and inventory labels and more.
The quality, features and performance your business needs, at a price you can afford.
